Dr. Amy Wagner

Dr. Amy Wagner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage major life changes and daily stressors. She sees individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by family conflict, caregiving demands, or shifting life circumstances.

Her work often supports parents and caregivers of children with intellectual, emotional, or behavioral challenges. She also helps adults who are trying to regain balance after trauma, chronic stress, or a difficult transition. Sessions focus on practical steps that make a difference in day-to-day life.

Dr. Wagner uses straightforward methods that people can apply between visits. She relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals.

Over 15 years of practice have shaped a collaborative approach. She works with each person to set realistic goals and build strategies that fit their life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving and emotional support. Dr. Wagner focuses on what helps now while noticing patterns that matter for the future. Her goal is to help people feel clearer, more capable, and better able to handle change.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and makes it easier to work on goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable steps and builds momentum with concrete goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Many people find online sessions help them keep therapy consistent through life changes and caregiving demands.
